Homeland Security has paid out roughly 100,000 bonuses to illegal immigrants who have registered to self-deport through the government’s special app.
Most of those were $1,000 payments, though the department saw a surge of takers when it offered a bonus $3,000 holiday payment last month, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Washington Times’ “The Sit Down with Alex Swoyer” podcast.
That means more than $100 million has been paid out in bonuses to compel illegal immigrants to leave the U.S. Homeland Security is also paying for plane tickets for those who register.
